Canti persiani (da 'Robaiyat' di Omar Khayyam)

Song Cycle by Luigi Cortese (1899 - 1976)

1. Quand tu chancelles sous le poids de la douleur  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Quand tu chancelles sous le poids de la douleur,
quand tu n'as plus de larmes,
pense à la verdure qui miroite après la pluie.
Quand la splendeur du jour t'exaspère, 
quand tu souhaites qu'une nuit définitive 
s'abatte sur le monde,
pense au réveil d'un enfant.

2. Pourquoi tant de douceur de tendresse  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Pourquoi tant de douceur, de tendresse, au début de notre amour ? 
Pourquoi tant de caresses, tant de délices, après ? 
Maintenant, ton seul plaisir est de déchirer mon cœur... 
Pourquoi ?
